Some types are a real pain, for example the ME-262. Not only do you have to be worried about slow throttle input, the spool-up time compared to prop-driven aircraft is of course slower. You have to come in low with a very high landing speed. I've tried a few times, but with a type you don't know well (beyond stick control) you tend to be reactive instead of predictive.

One type is notable because of the low weight: Bf109Z. Spinning up or down the engine creates much torque that helps or counteracts your desired thrust vector. That makes for a real dynamic flying experience
